Authorities said they found Carl Capers, 41, sexually battering a female victim at a residence located on Tampa Avenue in Kissimmee, after receiving several disturbance calls from witnesses and the suspect.

Deputies said Capers made comments indicating he physically and sexually abused the victim.

"He indicated in that he was battering a female victim. He gave his gave his location as to where he was and asked deputies to come make the arrest," said Osceola County Sheriff's Office Twis Lizasuain.

The victim appeared to have head trauma, authorities said, and was airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition.

Officials have had several run-ins with Capers since relocating to the area, according to deputies. He was admitted to treatment for mental health issues twice, once for threatening to commit suicide and a second time when he made threats to harm a woman, according to officials.

"He said he was going to sexually assault a female, if he was not arrested, but because he had not committed a crime, law enforcement took appropriate action by baker-acting him which meant he went a mental health facility for mental health treatment," said Lizasuain.

Capers was previously released from the North Carolina Corrections Department in January after serving five years for a similar attack.

Capers was confined to the Osceola County Jail with no bond, deputies said.
